Accessories You Can Now Pre-Order the Oberon's Kindle2 Covers - Page 4

These are flat out beautiful. I have a journal that looks similar to the dragon design there and I love it. Wish I had an extra $75 right now to order one of those, they're very nice!

Wow, these covers are amazing! I could easily see myself spending $75 on a case that looks as good as these do.

The lack of a hinge option is disappointing. I'm hoping to get a Kindle 2 in the next month or so, and I wanted one of these cases because the designs are gorgeous and the leather seems nice and sturdy. But I really don't like the look of the corners. I'm also a knitter, which means that velcro is practically banned from my house because of it's sneaky tendency to ambush things that I spent many, many hours making.

I'll probably just get the Amazon case to start out with. Maybe they'll change their minds and decide to offer hinged cases later.

If they do start making 505 covers, would they leave out the hinges as well?

Maybe it is not economical for such a small company to buy these parts? A company like M-Edge can probably buy enough to get a really good price on them.

I would pay extra for the oberon with hinge option.

They are gorgeous. I'm pre-ordering one asap

Nothing is too good for my new and first baby.

I'm glad you like Kai. I have one for my Kindle 1 with leather corners and it is incredibly secure. I held it over my bed and shook it vigorously and the Kindle stayed put.

I can't find a version of these with the Kindle2 attachment points. Also I would love to know how thick this makes the Kindle2. The one concern I have with a cover is how much thicker it makes the whole package. One of the things I love about the 2 over my old e-reader, iRex Iliad, is how much thinner the Kindle 2 is.

Oberon has decided not to offer the clips. They didn't feel they were a good, long-term option, or that they would compliment the functionality of their covers.
